Palpable Lump not visible on scans..what now?

Saw the surgeon this afternoon. She felt the lump. She said it was a fatty lump under some dense tissue. She told me it was fat and shouldn’t hurt. I should take Tylenol and come back in 6 months if it changes. I felt dismissed, and she really made me feel as if I should just let this go. I’ve read the statistics. But I’ve also heard your stories. Where should I go next?

how can they know for sure w/out biopsy? Did surgeon explain how she can have that certitude?my worries about pain in breast were dismissed since nothing showed on mammo and i had to keep going to drs and insisting sthing was wrong
Indeed, US detected lump and biopsy showed cancer but wasted about 3-4 mos. I suggest you insist on biopsy.

Thinking of you and I really think you should advocate for an MRI. I have very dense breasts and while I do not have regular MRI's as my lobular cancer was partially discovered on a mammo, the MRI I had pre surgery showed it to be larger as it was hidden behind a very large cyst. Keep us posted..xoxo
